This ranks extremely low on the scale of awful mods, but I will never understand people who insist on making their games look like poo poo with ENB/Reshade presets.

Did you ever think to yourself, "Mass Effect is a cool game but man, I wish I could make it look more like someone's filming a TV screen on a low-quality cellphone camera"? Well, good news because now you can!

It's even more annoying when you know what ENB-type mods can actually do in games like GTA IV and Skyrim. The GTA modding community in particular seems to have a collective raging hardon for realistic graphics, and they're doing some pretty neat stuff with it. I think it makes the already quite good textures in GTA IV look amazing.

Well the main thing is a lot of those CRT filter mods you have around out there are terrible stuff, made by people who apparently think CRT = 1965 color TV that's about to catch fire, is violently flickering, 1/3 of the total screen is taken up by "scanlines" and which bulges 2 feet out in the center of the screen.

Yeah, I probably started that derail, or kept it going at least.

People just have a tendency to overdo everything, simply because they can and because they think more is always better. With some restraint, a decent filter will take the edge off the sharp-edged oversized pixels on a modern high-resolution and make the overall picture more pleasant to look at.

Since I got my hands on a high-quality TV and SCART RGB cables for my consoles, I have to say that I've never seen a picture that sharp and well-defined on a CRT TV before. I should have upgraded from composite video ages ago. Old 3D games still look like rear end because of the low resolution and crappy textures (I'm on a GTA binge right now), but 2D games look ridiculously good. I definitely had my filter for playing on my PC monitor set way too soft compared to what a good TV can do with the best available connection methods.

Dreadnoughts would be amazing.

WH40K lore is great, it's just such a shame GW is involved in the games and miniatures.

I'm not seeing a video linked at the end, just the normal "here's other stuff you might like" section. Would you mind linking it?

Gorkamorka is basically orks crash landing on a planet and infighting until they reach critical orkness and can construct a ramshackle spaceship powered by said orkness, to take them on to new planets.

It rules.

Also orks literally being sentient mobile fungi lichens rules hard.
